2/11/03: It's been a while since the last update, so here a couple of updates about whats been happening (or NOT) in the land of Prodigy. Prodigy's American press company have released a statement with a quote by Liam Howlett about the new album: "Recording of the album started about four months ago. Intentions are to deliver the new album shortly after the New Year. Single release will precede a spring/summer album release date." [read statement]. Leeroy Thornhill has been playing several DJ dates recently. I sent some spies to his set in Zurich two weeks ago and heard it was excellent. If you're in London you can catch him DJing at the Ministry of Sound next Saturday, 8th November, where he headlines the Breaks room in the Baby Box [info]. Some new remixes are around: The Prodigy: Everybody Is In The Place - 808 State v DJ Tangent Remix (666 records) www.pearshaped.co.uk/everycube.mp3 Prodigy – Voodoo People (esquimo rmx) can be found on the album Magic Mushroom by PsyCondexxx on 'unreleased Records'. The Prodigy: Everybody Is In The Place, The Oracle Breaks Remix (666 records - out Dec) 19/08/03: Flint have cancelled their remaining festival appearances (26.8. Wiesen, 28.8. Pukkelpop, 29.8. Terremoto). According to the Wiesen.at website they are expected to release their album in 2004 now. [Wiesen.at] Nothing new about Prodigy either. This weekend a year since their last sign of life to date. I might as well shut this 'news' page down soon... 16/07/03: Aim 4 is now available on Amazon for preorder [HERE] The new MIXMAG has a Q&A feature with Keith Flint. Among other things he talks about how the new Prodigy album is coming along. Mixmag: How's the new prodigy album sounding then? Nothing specific but at least a bit of hope... A scan of the full interview can be found in the Flint section [HERE] 10/07/03: Almost no music mag right now that hasn't got anything Flint in it. THE FACE makes no exception and you can now pick up their current issue to read about Keith's healthy lifestyle. Or just check out the scans in the Flint section [HERE]. There's also an update on the tracklist for the Aim 4 single [HERE] which supposedly has Asteroids and a track called 'Danny' as B-side. Also a cool new live review of Flint @ Scala [HERE]. 15th July Flint are in Session for the Radio 1 Rockshow. You can listen to it live www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/alt/rockshow/ [discuss]. 08/07/03: A couple of updates on Flint. There is a cover story on Flint in the current edition of the German gothic magazine Sonic Seducer. There's another feature in the German magazine Intro. Scans for both are available in the Flint section [HERE], you can also read the Intro article on their web site [HERE]. All in German.
29/06/03: There's a 3-page feature about FLINT in the current Metal Hammer. Quite nice interview, just a bit too obvious that the writer of the piece doesn't seem to like dance music too much. For this and other stuff, go to the all new FLINT section [HERE] After Firestarter in the Charlie's Angels trailer (see below), there's now SMBU in the trailer for the new Tomb Raider movie. A bit ironic, as one of the reasons for the delay of the release of TFOTL was supposedly the Tomb Raider game. You can watch the trailer here: www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/tomb_raider/thecradleoflife/trailer_small.html 27/06/03: Kerrang have a review of Flint @ Scala by Ben Myers in their new issue. Now I know that my own reviews of gigs might not always be the most objective, most well-written and most thought through pieces, but if you're writing for a printed magazine and get a page to review the new band FLINT, then we could really expect a bit more than half of the space wasted on a comparison between The Prodigy and the Sex Pistols. What has it got to do with it? Ben Myers further questions whether this is just a 'showcase for that bloke from The Prodigy' and fails to notice that this band sounds completely tight at this gig and can create some great energy. Infact, he only actually reviews 'that bloke from The Prodigy'. The rating of the gig overall isn't that bad, but the review is. If you want to read it anyway, you can do so on the Flint @ Scala page now [HERE]. Also, on Wednesday Jim and Keith were both briefly on MTV UK in the news, talking about Flint. Jim said that one year ago they wouldn't even have thought they'd be a band and Keith was talking about the influences on their music ("everything"). This seemed to be part of a longer interview, which I assume will be on MTV some day. If you can't wait for that, you can already get a poster of Flint in the new Kerrang poster magazine. Matthew Rees has written a guest review about Leeroy DJing in Cardiff [HERE] And, in case you havent seen it yet, the background music to the trailer of the new Charlie's Angels 2 movie is strangely enough Prodigy's Firestarter!
There is also one brief review of FLINT at Hultsfred festival available now and pictures from Heineken festival in Imola. [HERE] 12/06/03: As some of you might have noticed, the website was down for most of this day. Basically my isp didnt like the fact that the Aim 4 video was on here because of copyrights, so it had to be taken down. That's the problem with running these kind of unofficial sites, unless you have formal permission to host these things, its quite difficult to do so. So unfortunately that's gone for now. Also anyone who sent me an email today, please resend it.
10/06/03: The full Aim 4 video by FLINT is now available for download [HERE]. You can also see it on the playlist of Kerrang TV and Q TV in the UK. 08/06/03: The full Aim 4 video by Flint is now on the playlist on Kerrang TV in the UK. You can select it by calling 09012 930 666 and selecting no. 163 (and yes, that a premium rate number). Flint are also playing the Hultsfred festival in Sweden next Saturday, for the other tourdates check the Flint section : www.nekozine.co.uk/flint
MetalHammer have very good words about Flint's gig at the Egg though, check it out [HERE]. You can also read an additional review of Download Festival on this page, contributed by Matthew Rees [HERE]. FLINT are now also playing the Terremoto Festival in Germany (ex-Bizarre festival) at the end of August. Check www.terremoto.de To make up for their bad review, Kerrrang have a 4-pages interview with FLINT in their current issue, I'll try to scan it for you all later. 02/06/03: FLINT played the Download festival yesterday. I couldn't make it myself, but Marc Neale has written a guest review about the gig. [HERE] Also the new Marilyn Manson single 'mOBSCENE' was released in the UK today and features the 'overnight mix' by Flint & Youth. 01/06/03: You can now check out some screengrabs and download a preview of the video to Aim 4, directed by Jonas Akerlund [HERE].
In other news, Leeroy Thornhill has got a residency at Lisa Lashes' new night Lashed at Eden in Ibiza. Check out the news and an interview with Leeroy: www.judgejules.net/index.php?page=125 20/05/03: NME have got some more info on FLINT today. The album is going to be called Device #1 and will be released 28th July, the first official single is going to be Aim 4, out on 14th July. The tracklisting for the album is: Asteroids, Piggy, Laughs, Aim 4, Hell Yeah, Kamikaze, Prescription, Ju Ju, Femme Fatale, Inflow, Vacation and Razor (NNNN). Interesting is that it says that the track Razor (NNNN) features the lyrics of Baby's got a Temper - some of you might remember the track was first written for Keith's solo project by the same people that are now in FLINT. Even more interesting is the presence of the track Vacation, because Liam and Keith were talking about this track last year as a new Prodigy track - seems it is not going to be a new Prodigy track now! NME also claim that FLINT are in the studio with James Lavelle, and the track might be featured on an international version of the "Never, Never, Land" album by UNKLE - but not on the UK one. [discuss] 16/05/03: FLINT (or "Keith Flint", as it is listed) seem to have been re-added to the Witnness festival line-up, on Sunday 13th July. www.witnness.com/lineup.php
14/05/03: There's a new whitelabel of a new remix of 'Charly' by Peo De Pitte in the shops. The 12" also includes a 'Prodigal Bonus Track' by Hedrock Valley Beats on the B-Side (which is in reality the 'Hedrock Valley Beats Electro Power Mix' of 'Megaforce' by Kemek The Dope Computer'). If you want to get hold of the whitelabel you could try HMV (in the UK) as they seem to have quite a few available. 11/05/03: Keith and Jim were just on Totalrock, talking about FLINT again. They were talking about Asteroids, which will be released on limited edition vinyl, and the following single thats gonna be a 'proper' release on their own imprint "Cool Kills" on Universal, with the video by Jonas Akerlund. keith was also asked about the new Prodigy material and said that Liam is working on it in the studio "24/7" and that the Prodigy album can be expected "at the end of the year kind of vibe". You can download the full interview on mp3 in the FLINT section: www.nekozine.co.uk/flint FLINT have also joined the bill of the T in the Park festival, see www.tinthepark.com 08/05/03: Nothing new with Prodigy, but there's a new slightly amusing web site, dedicated to quotes by Liam Howlett. [HERE] 02/05/03: NME run another story about FLINT, all stuff we already know though [HERE]. 01/05/03: Tickets for FLINT @ Scala are available now for £11 [HERE]. See ya there. 30/04/03: mp3s of XFM interview are online now: www.nekozine.co.uk/flint. 30/04/03: To make it all a bit less confusing, there's a new section about Keith's new band FLINT: www.nekozine.co.uk/flint. Also with new scans from todays NME mag. 30/04/03: You can listen online now to the Rockshow from last night on www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/alt/rockshow/ 30/04/03: Keith Flint and Jim Davies were as guests at Mary Anne Hobbs' Rockshow on Radio 1 just now. Check out FLINT section for details [HERE] 29/04/03: Keith Flint will be on Ian Camfield's show MUSIC RESPONSE tomorrow evening between 7pm and 9pm on XFM, talking about his new band FLINT! You can listen to XFM online on www.xfm.co.uk It is not known whether this remix will be released. 17/04/03: As promised here now also the new Intro and the new version of Nuclear from the Leeds Festival. Again, please notice that the quality isn't that great at all, it's more one for the die-hard fans. Intro [HERE] (2MB) Nuclear [HERE] (5MB). 29/03/03: A few minor updates while it is still very very quiet around The Prodigy. Absolutely no news about tourdates, new album or new single yet.
As 'someone' has posted on the nekosite forum, MTV have announced what is supposed to be the final tracklisting for 'Matrix: Reloaded' and unsurprisingly, contrary to past reports, Prodigy definitely aren't on it. Obviously MTV aren't exactly official news, but the tracklisting here seems pretty definite. www.mtv.com/news/articles/1470830/20030328/dave_matthews_band.jhtml?'instruct' has sent in some scans of a new XL DVD with the Babys got a Temper video on it. This is a promotional DVD which is not generally available on sale. 05/03/03: The printed version of NME features not one, but two, Prodigy articles this week. Anything exciting or new? nah.
Meanwhile Liam has his own opinion: "So long as he is not wearing my clothes and taking my missus out, fuck him!". [see scan]Article 2: Story about the trial of the farmer John Kirby who allegedly threatened Liam and Keith with a shotgun. For a similar report of the same 'exciting' story go [HERE].Then Keith also gets a mention in the gossip pages: "Keith Flint is filling his time well. The (contain your laughter, please) solo artist was spotted last week in London's leafy Barnes, near a launderette. You won't get those stains out, Keith." Aren't NME just soooooo goddamn funny and relevant?? ('funny' is only their list of 'top 100 albums ever' in the current issue!) 11/02/03: There are rumours on some music web sites about Liam Howlett DJing at some pool party at the World Music Conference in Miami alongside Goldie in March and even a full web site dedicated to the event announcing him to appear and 'play new Prodigy material'. According to Prodigy's management this is not true, as this is an imposter who has been pretending to be DJing as Liam Howlett in the USA already last year. So don't go there expecting to see Liam, as it is a hoax, Liam will not turn up and there wont be any new Prodigy material played at the event. Liam Howlett is not DJing at the moment and there are no Prodigy tourdates at all either at this point. 02/02/03: The new Kerrang magazine reports (related to Pitchshifter splitting up): "In other 'Shifter news, guitarist Jim Davies recently completed recording and album with Prodigy's Keith Flint." Jim's involvement in Keith's project doesn't come as such a surprise, as he's already played on Maxim's album, the last Prodigy album and is very likely to appear on the next one as well. Apart from that, nothing new as yet. (thanks to Mäxx) 28/01/03: Liam Howlett once made a famous quote about the Internet after seeing pictures of his own house on a web site. The Prodigy have been known for always keeping their private life private and most fans have respected that. So some might find it a bit ironic now that Liam is going to take part in an 'at home with...'-type TV documentary. According to this weeks' NME, Liam Howlett and Liam Gallagher 'steal the show' in the documentary dedicated to the Appleton sisters, filmed at Liam Howlett's house in Essex. If you're into this kind of stuff or always wanted to see Liam jumping on a trampoline, then you can watch the documentary on 13th February on BBC3 (the new TV channel replacing BBC Choice from 9th February) in the UK. You can find a scan of the article [HERE] [850kb] (thanks to Steve Fothergill). 28/01/03: Rumours about Keith Flint's solo project have been around for a while now, but been kept quite low-key, although it's been said his album might be out already as early as this year. Now part of the music press have picked up on it, and Gigwise report:"The Prodigy front man Keith Flint, always one to start a fire is rumoured to have signed a one million pound record deal with Polydor. He'd been learning to play the guitar during the break since their last album was released, 'The Fat of the Land' in 1997. 19/01/03: The current issue of Musikexpress (Germany) features an interview with Rob del Naja (aka 3D) from Massive Attack about the new upcoming Massive Attack '100th Window' album. In the interview he also talks about his collaboration with Liam Howlett, the track 'No Souvenirs' and says that apparently Liam has suggested to him to release the track on a different soundtrack now (it was first supposed to be out on the 'The Beach' soundtrack). (Thanks to Benjamin Cers) 30/12/02: FHM have got a tiny bit of Prodigy 'news', Steady reports in the forum: 16/12/02: So now two full months no updates, no need to worry, it's all fine. I've been a bit busy myself and there hasn't really been much new with The Prodigy, but as soon as there is, this web site will be updated again. Only piece of news is that according to www.theprp.com there is a rumour about Maxim working with producer Machine (he previously worked with Pitchshifter and (hed)P.E.) on new solo material [discuss]. (thanks to syphon410) 16/10/02: A Czech music magazine called X-mag apparently has a new interview with Liam Howlett. Tomas reports the following from the interview: Also, this web site is 4 years old today. hooray! 15/10/02: You can catch Leeroy's band Flightcrank live again as early as next week on Monday, 21st October at the Cargo club near Old Street in London. Cargo is one of my favorite clubs in London and a really nice venue, so definitely worth going. The event runs from 8pm to 1am. This is currently the only confirmed Flightcrank tourdate. It's still pretty quiet in Prodigy-land, but it's been said that progress with the album is going well right now, we've just gotta wait and see for another while. Also yesterday the Warchild compilation album with The Prodigy's cover of 'Ghosttown' was released, and is definitely worth buying. As usual with Liam Howlett's material, the difference from CD to dodgy mp3 really does make a difference and it really does sound brilliant on the CD. It's an instrumental cover of Ghosttown, but apart from that very similar to the version Prodigy played at Reading 1998. There are also other nice tracks on the compilation, notably Faithless & Dido, Muse, and Badly Drawn Boy's cover of 'Come on Eileen' (it helps if you like the original). Very dissapointing though is Jimmy Eat World's cover of Firestarter, who have managed to take literally all of the energy of that track out and made it into some Silverchair sounding something with music that doesn't fit the lyrics at all. 11/10/02: As mentioned earlier on, Leeroy's new band Flightcrank played a gig on Tuesday at the Marquee in Islington. I had the pleasure to attend it, and here are a few pictures. Click the thumbnails to enlarge. (all pictures by Netta Goldfarb)
02/10/02: You can listen to the full NME '1 love' Warchild album, featuring The Prodigy's cover of The Specials 'Ghosttown' tomorrow from 5pm (UK time) on the nme.com website! More info: www.nme.com/news/103114.htm 30/09/02: NME have revealed the tracklisting of the forthcoming Warchild album, which features a cover of the Special's Ghosttown by Prodigy, as well as a cover of The Prodigy's Firestarter by Jimmy Eat World! For more details: www.nme.com/news/story.htm?ID=103078 26/09/02: Leeroy Thornhill's new band Flightcrank are going to play a live gig at the new Marquee club in Islington (located in the new 'N1' shopping centre near Angel Station) on 8th October 2002. I've had a little preview of what to expect at a club gig he played last month in London, and it was good. This isn't a DJ date, but Leeroy fronting his own 4 piece live band on vocals, backed by members of Kieron's band Happy Gilmore and vocalist Charli Tucker, also known from Flightcrank's album. Don't go there and expect Prodigy, cause it's not. It's Leeroy performing his own material from his debut album, expect funky, chilled out beats and to see Leeroy from a new perspective. Also, there was an online chat with The Prodigy on their official web site last night. I must admit I didn't expect all that much from it and thought either the server or the full chat would go under in chaos. But the webmasters made the good move to limit access to 60 people (which was probably a bit frustrating for many users who didn't get in, but still far better than having the channel moderated). I had the chance to be in there and was surprised that people actually behaved, and every person present in the chat got to ask a question. Respect to the band for answering each and every question, instead of just hand-picking a few as it's usually done in those chats. The band were asked about the new album, and stated that its going to be 'more electronic, but still rockin'. They also revaled some info about the first demo tape by Liam and a track called 'Spacehopper' that was on that tape. Brainkiller has taken the time and put together screen shots from the whole chat, so you can head over to his site and check them out [HERE] 23/09/02: As you all probably know, Liam Howlett used to tour as a DJ back in 1999 and 2000 after the release of his Dirtchamber Sessions DJ album. He has since then stopped DJing and is at the moment busy in the studio writing the new Prodigy album. However, at the moment apparently someone calling himself 'DJ Turkish' is booking DJ dates, mainly in the USA, pretending to be Liam Howlett using an alias. This person has got nothing at all to do with The Prodigy or Liam Howlett and is just trying to cash in money from fans and promoters. It is a hoax, as at the moment Liam Howlett is not doing any DJ dates, not under his real name and not using an alias either. Apart from that, The Prodigy's cover of the Specials' 'Ghosttown' for the Warchild album is definitely going ahead, however no relase date has been set yet. 15/09/02: Some more filler news: XFM are releasing a remix album called 'The Remix 2' in October 2002 on Virgin Records which will feature The Prodigy's Smack My Bitch Up remixed by DJ Hype. This remix was already featured as B-side on the SMBU single, and is therefore nothing new to most of us. XFM claim though: "This double CD release contains the latest remixes, bootlegs and studio rarities of artists ranging from The Cure to Peaches, Placebo to Soulwax. Quite frankly, this shit is the bomb!" You can check out the details on www.xfm.co.uk/theremixalbum 07/09/02: There's a bootleg of Liberty X vs. Prodigy called 'Little Mindfield' going around. You can listen to it online or download the mp3 from www.stervis.co.uk/eMS/ where it is currently no.1 in the charts. 04/09/02: As reported a few days ago on nekosite (see below), NME now also report that Prodigy are going to release a cover version of their 'favorite single of all times' on a NME Warchild album '1 love'. The album is expected to be released in October and Prodigy's contribution is expected to be a cover of The Specials' 'Ghosttown'. Prodigy have already played this covertrack live at their show at Reading 1998. www.nme.com/news/102830.htm 31/08/02: Surprisingly still no proper live recordings of the gigs last week have turned up at all. But I finally wrote my reports about the festivals last weekend and uploaded some pictures. Check it all out [HERE]In other news, 'Chemkeith' reports the following from MUZIK newsletter:"THE PRODIGY GO EIGHTIES FOR CHARIDEE 26/08/02: Just got back from Leeds, Glasgow & Reading where Prodigy played three UK shows this weekend. Had a wicked time, probably the best shows they've done since Big Day Out. There will be full reports and pictures of the 3 gigs on this web site, but since this wont happen until Thursday or later, here the most important news:- Prodigy had an all new look, new stage with massive gun as backdrop, new clothes, wicked light show. 21/08/02 - II: The new issue of Kerrang magazine has a four pages Prodigy cover story as a build up for the festivals this weekend. The main cover is a picture of Keith, the inside cover is all three of them. The article is a nice read, but doesn't reveal too much new apart from that Liam reveals that the only tracks ready for the album are Nuclear, Trigger, No Souvenirs, Vacation and the title track to the album Always Outnumbered, never Outgunned. He also admits that the last single Baby's got a Temper was released because of the record company and will probably not be on the album. I'll scan the article sometimes next week if i have time... 21/08/02: Right, not much new lately. But soon this will change cause, in case you haven't heard yet, Prodigy will play live at Leeds festival, Glasgow Gig on the Green and Reading festival this weekend! That's quite a lot of action, and i'll be at all 3 shows and will hopefully have some reports for you by the end of next week. So watch this space! There are still day tickets for all 3 shows available, so you might as well want to get there yourself and send me your report! 31/07/02: Liam and Keith are interviewed in the new NME talking about their forthcoming shows at Reading, Glasgow and Leeds. Evans has typed it out for us and you can check it out [HERE][discuss on nekoforum] 27/07/02: Prodigy played a gig at Fuji Rock festival in Japan last night, see some pics and reports [HERE].Apart from that not much new, apart from the continuous campaign by Maverick, emailing us with desparate attempts to make us join their 'Prodigy team' and tell us how cool the BGAT video is because it is 'banned all over the world'. Whoah, how cool... 19/07/02: after all my slagging of the Maverick's sites, its got to be said that the new Prodigy site is not like that at all. Done all in shockwave, you first gotta have the plug-in instealled to run it. What you will find is a wicked piece of design work done by Rockstar letting you explore different areas about the prodigy, have a look around in Liam's studio, read the biography, listen to past Prodigy tracks etc. All that is underlined with loops of sometimes new Prodigy material and all is presented in a quite innovative, but very military-style, look. Navigation is done is a innovative, yet still menu driven way, using a gun and missiles you can fire. There's even little tasks you can find, and some lucky person has already won Maxim's snowboard! The site is not finished yet and several sections are still locked, but this will probably help keeping people interested. Only things that could probably be improved are that a simple easy-to-access html page with just news and tourdates would be nice. Also the main challenge for the web site will be to stay updated and interesting, so that visitors will actually come back and revisit the web site despite the a bit slow and 'difficult' navigation. check it out [HERE] 18/07/02: new official Prodigy site is online today, check it out [HERE] 18/07/02: Finally written the report about Prodigy's gig at Witnness festival last weekend, you can check it out [HERE]Also, is anyone going to Fuji Rock next week? I'm not going (yeh, first show in over 3 years I miss, scary) but I'd love to hear how it was. e-mail me if you're going!Meanwhile Maverick have released the new single as well, and when you put the US-single into your computer it takes you to a 'secret' web site where you have to register (so they can spam you with news about the streetteam) and can access some 'secret' web site. This web site consists of a cheesy little flash tool, letting you change colour and stuff, and a screensaver and the BGAT video. Pretty pointless. If they wanna have a 'secret site', then why not put some content on it? You can only register if you have the US single (how clever) but thanks to Steve who has provided us with a log-in, you can look at it anyway. Go to www.maverickecd.com/prodigy/index.html and log in using email 'temper@prodigy.com' and password 'prodigy'. Are Maverick ruining Prodigy's image? discuss on neko's forum [HERE] 16/07/02: New forum launched on nekosite! Discuss The Prodigy, get answers to your questions, chat with other fans and more... Check it out [HERE] 16/07/02: Today BGAT is released in the USA by Maverick. So far so good, but the way it's promoted to fans makes me sick. I'm getting several e-mails from Maverick to join their Prodigy streetteam, or how they call it, 'Prodigy Official Online Team', run by Marketing company M80. Nothing wrong with that, but the way its run and written is so aimed at 13 year old nu-metal fans and contradicts just about everything The Prodigy are about. Didn't they just say in an MTV interview that they regard their fans as 'grown-up, responsible adults'? The single is advertised with the words "It's been been banned from radio and tv around the world!!" (yeh, that's why it's good, huh?) and goes on with "They need your help to spread the word! By joining Prodigy’s Official Online Team you will gain access to exclusive downloads, videos, contests, news, and merchandise! Most importantly, you'll be helping Prodigy by showing your support!" That all would be good for a new up-and-coming band, but Prodigy don't look cool with a shitty marketing campaign like that. It sounds just so desperate: "Also, make sure to check out all sections on this site often (everyday if you can!) and help out as much as possible with radio/video requesting, posting online, street promoting and more.". This can't be in the interest of the band.At the moment the member count is, wait for it, 55. I don't know how this campaign is supposed to do the Prodigy any good, apart from ruining their image. Definitely the worst marketing campaign EVER. Sorry, it had to be said. If you still want to have a look at their s(h)ite you an do so [HERE] 15/07/02: Liam Howlett reveals in the French magazine 'Trax' that there is a new track called 'Vacation' written for the new Prodigy album. Liam says: "Vacation" is about the USA. It's not anti-USA, it's just against that new "metal" scene. On a general aspect, the message is still the same: "Let's fucking go!". 'Shenter' has translated parts of the interview from French and you can check it out now [HERE]Also updated the AONO section [HERE]Report and some pics from Witnness festival coming soon ...anyone who e-mailed me today and did not get a reply, please send again as the nekosite.co.uk server was down all day long! thanks. 14/07/02: Just got back from Ireland, Prodigy played a good gig at Witnness festival last night. check here later for a report and some pictures. Apparently MTV UK showed a new updated version of their 'Essential Prodigy' last night. Obviously I missed it, but Steady, who has already seen it, writes:"The first half was the old stuff that had been on before and the second half was full of new stuff like their solo stuff you saw keith riding his bike for red bull , Maxim talking about hells kitchen , Liam chatting about the dirtchamber album, and leeroy leaveing the band. it went right through to july and about B.G.A.T,aslo Liam talked about new tracks like nuclear saying that he likes it live but can seem to get it right yet in the studio. 12/07/02: I have taped the XFM interview last night and encoded it. Quality isn't perfect (especially first two min are bad) but its better than nothing. and its quite a cool interview with the band. Now available in the Media Section. [HERE] 11/07/02: Prodigy are gonna be interviewed on XFM tonight by Zane Lowe on the show 'Music:Response' between 7pm and 9pm GMT. You can listen to it live on www.xfm.co.uk. More info: www.xfm.co.uk/webClient?guid=5526&site=xfm&rs=xfm 08/07/02: An interview with Prodigy from Seat Beach Rock festival has been posted on the Studio Brussel's web site www.stubru.be. The guys seem to be in pretty good mood but the poor moderator doesn't exactly get everything they say, especially Liam's "10 mile run". Interesting bit is that Liam says that the new single isn't a represantation of what the new album is gonna sound like (he already puts a date on it again: March 2003) and he states that BGAT 'sounds quite similar to the last stuff' and that they might change direction again will become more electronic. Liam closes the 5 minutes interview with the words: "we were The Prodigy by the way, if you didn't realize, thanks!". You can listen to it streaming from the Studio Brussel web site [HERE] 07/07/02: Saw The Prodigy last night in Belgium at Seat Beach Rock and written a quick review about the show. Read about the brand new instrumental fill that got played, what happened to Dust Yoself and how the crowd reacted to BGAT now that its released as a single. [HERE]Also Babys got a Temper is no.5 in the official UK single charts (here goes NME with their 'guaranteed No.1'...), which is higher than many people thought, but still makes me sad they're right behind Scooter ... 04/07/02: As announced on nekosite yesterday, The Prodigy were interviewed on Radio 1 last night. Nismo has encoded it for us all, and you can find the mp3 now in the media section [HERE]. 03/07/02: well, the new single (Baby's got a Temper) is out now since Monday in the UK. Feels good to be able to walk into a shop and buy a 'new Prodigy single'. And it's a wicked track, but i'm not too impressed with the B-Sides and the DVD... 28/06/02: If you bought the Independent Newspaper (UK) today you could find an article about Prodigy in it, written by Martin James. Titled 'Liam Howlett: Punk and disorderly' it adresses the issues of censorship and controversy The Prodigy were facing and questions whether that censorship was really appropriate or even needed and what the band think of it. You can check the article out online [HERE].There were a couple of reviews of BGAT in the music press recently. NME, who have praised the song over the past weeks and predicted a 'guaranteed no.1', suddenly turned around and gave the song a rating of 0 out of 10. Meanwhile Kerrang praise it as their single of the week and Mixmag haven't really got an opinion but put it as no.1 of the tunes to get this month. No matter what the critics say, being the no. 1 single in dance mag Mixmag and metal mag Kerrang at the same time with the same song is quite something to achieve! Mixmag also have a 2 page piece about the recent Prodigy live shows, all based on outside opinions and although they tried to do proper research its full of mistakes. Mixmag, which this month comes with a free 'guide to Ibiza' booklet, also quote Liam on that he would like to 'bomb Ibiza'. And funnily there's also a quote by Prodigy fan Elle Taghavi (taken from some online forum), very much to the surprise of Elle. Anyway, you can check out all those reviews now [HERE]And if you really need to, you can now even get a Baby's got a Temper ringtone for your mobile phone [HERE]. 26/06/02: Ok, some updates. Next Monday BGAT is released! Then, there's a few tourdates coming up as well, 6th July in Belgium, then Dublin. And, oh yes, I am SO gonna be there, it's about time! To celebrate this, I've now got a video of 'Baby's got a Temper' live at Coachella Festival (April 2002) on this web site for you all. Thanks a lot to Prodigal1 for encoding it. You can find it in the media section [HERE].
There's a pic and a quote by Liam in the 'dance news' section now: www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/news/dancenews/020624_prodigy.shtml Liam explained: "We've only got a single out. We don't consider ourselves totally back as yet. We've got some new material we want to play and we thought Reading was the best ground for that. It's more of an intense line-up. It's more of a rock festival - the crowds always seem to be, I don't know, more intense really." 22/06/02: MTV have conducted a short interview with The Prodigy which is currently shown on MTV UK [HERE] Anyone who tried to e-mail me this morning and got an error message back, please send the email again, something was wrong with the mailserver. Sorry about the inconvenience. Otherwise resend to neko@btinternet.com.
Also updated the Baby's got a temper tracklisting. Mark G Boxshall reports that the DVD will now contain 2 tracks, the video of Baby's got a temper' and 'A day at work'. [HERE] 20/06/02 - II: Baby's got a Temper is now also finally gonna be premiered in Switzerland (my lovely homecountry). While the Swiss music channel 'Viva-Swizz' refuse to show the clip at all with the comment 'it is disgusting', it will be premiered on Swiss national television SF DRS in the show 'Ooops' at 18.40 on Friday 21st June, so reports magazine '20 minutes' in Zurich. The magazine also reports that the video is so skandalous that it features 'members of the Prodigy drinking several bottles of Rohypnol'. Aaaa---HA!
18/06/02: There's a chance that Leeds festival is going to be cancelled! Apparently the festival has been refused the license, but the festival organisers Mean Fiddler still have 21 days to appeal to local magistrates. This affects us as The Prodigy were booked to play this festival on Friday, 23rd August 2002 as part of the Carling weekend (see tourdates).
15/06/02: Yesterday I saw the first posters for Baby's got a Temper (BGAT) around, there's some here at Old Street station in London. The posters have got orange background and the policeman clown, very much like on the single artwork, but no text at all. It doesn't say Prodigy or anything that would refer to BGAT at all. nice. 11/06/02: Nekosite (the website you are looking at right now) was chosen by MTV UK as one of two web sites featured on 'Fansite Insight' this week, along with Musenet. MTV write: "The Prodigy - Nekosite. Live in the UK and want to see Prodigy live? Make sure you check out the tour dates on Neko's fansite devoted to that band with real attitude... The Prodigy" Also check out the new issue #35 of ProCON today on www.prodigynews.co.uk10/06/02: I've had the chance to make an interview with Prodigy's live guitarist Jim Davies. To read about his work with Prodigy and what its like to have rejoined them, check out the interview [HERE]
And then there's the new NME magazine. Guess Liam Howlett would not be too happy if he picks that magazine up, as his Sex Pistols hero John Lydon is dissing The Prodigy!"Get out of my dustbins. Come up with your own shit. I'm still here. Hello, Prodigy. Think you can copy this one? I've no problems with them at all, but they should fess up where that fucking look came from. 'Oh yeah, I just invented this Sex Pistol hairdo the other day'. Essex boys. What d'you expect?" AwwwBut, hello, John! Prodigy isn't about inventing hairstyles, huh? John's trying a bit too hard lately.And you can still download the new video from the new BGAT video section [HERE] 06/06/02: NME.com have got a little piece about the new Prodigy video with some quotes by Liam Howlett. Liam explains the video and adds: "’Cos the milk is like their fucking buzz, y’know, it’s like a drug reference I guess. This one will be memorable. This is a good video." You can read the full thing on www.nme.com/news/101965.htm For more info , screenshots and the download of the video go to the new BGAT video section [HERE]
01/06/02: Updated the Baby's got a Temper section with more info about the video [HERE]. Have also updated the fan feedback for BGAT for a last time [HERE]. You can of course still e-mail me, but no new e-mails will be added to the section. 29/05/02: Just seen a teaser on MTV2 about the new Prodigy video, which will indeed be premiered on 5th June at 9pm on MTV2 in the UK. But MTV also have a competition where you can win Liam's Moog Prodigy that he has been using for the past 5 years. www.mtv.co.uk/prodigy 26/05/02: Apparently the video for the new Prodigy single Baby's got a Temper will be shown for the first time on MTV2 in the UK on 5th June between 9pm and 10pm. The band have shot the video in Prague and as revealed in THE FACE (see below) it was directed by TRAKTOR and is based on a dream Liam had about playing live in front of a herd of cattle. No, really, that's gonna be interesting to see. I can't quite see the connection between Rohypnol and cows yet, and I wonder what exactly they want to tell their fans with that video. hey? But easy, actually this concept might be about showing that they dont need a fake "oh I'm so much into it" human audience like just about any other band has in their videos. But let's see.
18/05/02:
Apparently the 'Dub mix' of Prodigy's new single 'Baby's got
a Temper' has now also been played on Radio 1 on the Pete Tongs
Essential selection last night. It does not contain the 'we love Rohypnol'
part and therefore does not face any weird bans and censoring. The
'Dub mix' sounds cool, but all in all not so different from the original
at all, its more an in-between between the original and instrumental
version, keeps repeating and echoing Keith's vocals 'she's gonna ignite
the skyline' and also features that instrumental 'rohypnol, rohypnol'
sample which then leads into Keith's voice going 'Rohypnol, Rohypnol'. 17/05/02: Updated the Babys got a Temper 'fan opinions' with more fan feedback. plus finally also updated the Prodigy links on this web site. more soon. watch out for the new ProCON this weekend. 16/05/02 - II: Just heard the Belgium premiere of Baby's got a Temper - uncensored! wahey! Also, earlier today the German premiere was uncensored too. So there's hope, except for us people living in England. 16/05/02 -I: As reported a few days ago, the new Prodigy Babys got a Temper had its UK premiere today on Radio 1, one week after it had its world premiere on Finnish radio. This was just a one-off spot for the song which might get banned from the radio. Unlike the Finnish radio station Radio Mafia, Radio 1 were apparently sent the unedited version and have edited the word 'Rohypnol' out by themselves. NME.com are on the case again, and have the following information: A
spokesperson for the band told NME.COM that the group had not provided
a radio edit of the song to the station and have no intention of doing
so. She said the track was edited by Radio 1 at their end so it would
fit into their daytime schedules. a rather critical comment about the new Prodigy single called 'the prats of the land' was published in the BBC 6music's Music Editorial, I've got it here for you [here] There's also a cool new interview with Liam Howlett from the 'Las Vegas review', where he is talking about writing the new album, the 'punk-rock revival', what he thought of SMBU being used in Charlie's Angels and the real reason why they played that small Las Vegas show [here] 14/05/02 - III: Right, update no.3 for today. I dont know what this is leading to.
But NME have got even more about Prodigy. As reported a while ago on this site, there was some speculation about Liam Howlett collaborating with Liam Gallagher from Oasis. Liam Howlett has now indeed confirmed this, talking to NME: "There's been a lot of confusion over this. I read some fucking nonsense in the paper that it was the single or something, I don't know. Me and Liam, we fucked around about a year ago, in my studio one night when the family were over. The ideas were sounding cool and at some point I will finish what we did. Whether it's Prodigy or something else, I don't know. Once it's finished it might be something that me and Liam put out separately (from Oasis or Prodigy). It's not like a guaranteed thing that's going to be on our album, but its something that's going to be cool and it's going to be finished. It fucking sounds good."
14/05/02 - II: even more updates. I just got the new NME mag which features much more than the online version with a lot of quotes by Liam and Keith about what the single Babys got a Temper is really about. check back here later today for a scan and the quotes. 'BlueGecko' has e-mailied me saying he has found the promo for Babys got a Temper and apparently the promo features the lyrics to the song! This emphasizes once more how much more focus The Prodigy put on lyrics this time. You can find the updated 'official' lyrics now in the BGAT section [here] Last but not least there's also a newletter from XL Recordiongs with the following info: "The
Prodigy emerged as the undisputed heroes of last weeks Coachella 14/05/02 - I: There definitely is a lot going on in Prodigy-land. Apparently the new single Babys got a Temper is now also finally gonna be played in the UK (1 week after Finnland) and will have its premiere on Radio 1 during the Jo Whiley show on Thursday 16th May between 10am and 12.45. You can listen online on www.bbc.co.uk/radio1 (thanks to Smitty and Carl Jermy) Also the track will be played in Belgium on Thursday on the radio station 'Studio Brussel' during a show called 'Radar' between 7pm and 9pm. you can also listen online on www.studiobrussel.be (thanks to Miwant and Sophia) Also
the press have now picked up on the controversial topic of Rohypnol
and NME claim that the song will probably not get any daytime radio
play, but is still expected to reach no. 1 as Firestarter did. They
also have a quote from Keith Flint: "I don't know its true
medical title. Have I tried it? Oh yeah, absolutely. That's what the
song's about. It's a reflection on going out, maybe doing cocaine,
then doing downers. Y'know, some people do all manner of downers and
Rohypnol is one of them." more
info about the new single [here] 13/05/02: apparently that story about the Essex farmer wasn't really true as the Mirror reported it and it was just Keith and a friend getting in a row with an angry farmer who indeed then threatened them with a shotgun. I guess that'll teach us once more not to pay attention to silly tabloid stories. It seems as the new Prodigy single Babys got a Temper now definitely is be going to be released on 1st July 2002, as an official press release seems to be going around (at least in Belgium) now with the info: "The
Prodigy release their new single, entitled 'Baby's Got A Temper', 12/05/02:
Since the full version of Babys got a Temper is 'around'
now, I've made a page dedicated to the new Prodigy single. On it you
can find information about the track, reviews, the lyrics and some
fan opinions [here] Today
in the Sunday Mirror is a story 'Prodigy stars in gun drama near
mansion'. Apparently Liam and Keith were walking Liam's dog somewhere
in Essex, and some crazy Essex farmer called John Kirby threatened
them with a loaded shotgun. Keith and Liam were horrified, flee with
their mountain bikes and called the police. The police came to seize
the farmer's shotgun and suspended his license. 10/05/02:
WOW!! Now who would have thought that! FINALLY!!! new Prodigy
studio material seems to be around, and the studio version of the
new single Babys got A Temper is played reqularly on the Finnish
Radio station 'Radio Mafia' since yesterday. I dont know why Finnland
is first, but I have heard a bit of the track, unfortunately very
poor quality and the word 'Rohypnol' seems to be censored out in some
really strange way which kind of ruins it a bit. BUT! Very hard track,
Keith sounds wicked on it, very different from the version they had
played at Big Day Out, closer to the version that they had played
in the States 2 weeks ago, just sounding better on studio version
now. I'll wait with my judgment until i hear the full thing uncensored
though. www.radiomafia.fi 08/05/02: Just letting you know that the Prodigy newsletter ProCON has relaunched again. So if you aren't already subscribed, do so now by emailing subscribe@prodigynews.co.uk to stay up to date with the latest news about The Prodigy. For more info and to check out the latest issue, go to www.prodigynews.co.uk. 05/05/02: Finally uploaded reviews and pics of The Prodigy's shows in Las Vegas and at Coachella Festival in USA last weekend. Also revealed the title and more info about that wicked new live fill that was only ever played once in Las vegas. And if you got tired of my own reviews by now, there's a few guest reviews by other people to check out as well! [HERE] 02/05/02: Just spent a week in the States and had the joy to attend the two Prodigy shows in Las Vegas and at Coachella festival, both shows were wicked! Check back here for some reviews and live pictures soon, including info about the new Babys Got A Temper and a new track that was only ever played once at the Las Vegas show. Also, The Prodigy have been announced to play the Carling weekend in the UK in August! This means, they will play Leeds Festival, Glasgow Green and Reading Festival. More details coming soon in the live section [here] 19/04/02: Not that the Sun is the most reliable source of information, but apparently Liam Gallagher from Oasis has told them that he's doing vocals for a new Prodigy track that he had written together with Liam Howlett which will be on Prodigy's new album and could even be released as a single: 'LIAM GALLAGHER has teamed up with THE PRODIGY on one of their new tracks. The dance band wanted a more rocky sound for the yet to be named song and Gallagher was the obvious choice for the Prodigy star LIAM HOWLETT ... Gallagher admits: “I’ve done something with The Prodigy and it might come out as a single. It’s a tune we wrote together and Liam asked me to sing part of it. It’s great." ... “I hate dance stuff but this is a really good rock and roll song." ... “It was a good song for me to sing and I wasn’t told how to do it. I did it my way.”
also, there are now new images from the Tokyo show available, they're taken from the Japanese Crossbeat magazine. I've put them within the Tokyo review [here]. (many thanks to Yuki) 17/04/02: According to Ananova news, The Prodigy are going to play the Witnness festival in Dublin, Ireland, and will be headlining the Saturday on 13th July 2002. Definitely good news, I'd say! www.ananova.com/yournews/story/sm_569181.html 11/04/02: Just about two weeks before Prodigy are off to play two shows in the United States (watch this space for reviews), Liam Howlett has talked to RollingStone.com and revealed some interesting information about the new album and forthcoming singles. He reveals that on the new album lyrics will become more important and will have an equal role with the music. And other aspects will change as well: "There are two main differences on this new record," Howlett says of the still-in-progress Always Outnumbered. "I haven't used my record collection as a source of sounds and samples, and I've tried to bring in other musicians and play a lot of instruments myself." Also the article claims that XL are planning to release 'Babys Got a Temper' in July, which could be followed by 'Nuclear' as a second single and the album later this year. You can read the full article and interview now [here]. Already picked up on the news also have MTV Germany [here], NME [here] and other media, and if you speak Russian you can read on the band's Russian label Feelee's web site that the single 'Babys got a temper' is supposed to be released July 1st [here]. In other news, the Seat Beach Rock festival in Belgium, formerly known as Axion Beach Rock, has revealed its line-up, and according to their official web site, The Prodigy will appear at the festival as headliner on Saturday, 6th July. More info on the festival web site [here]. 01/04/02: The Japanese Fuji Rock Festival have announced their first part of the line-up today, and it looks as if The Prodigy are part of it. Other cool acts on the line-up include The Chemical Brothers and DJ Shadow. The festival takes place 26th to 28th July 2002 in Naeba Ski Resort, Japan. Info from: www.smash-uk.com/frf02/lineup_stages.html Also check out the ticket conditions: "Due to local regulations, people under 18 years must return to their accomodation by 11pm.". yesssss. (thanks to Ayako for the info) 30/03/02: not much new, apart from the frontpage [here] . but more soon. 28/03/02: The Prodigy's 'Smack My Bitch Up' promo video has been named by MTV USA as the most controversial video of all time. It will air on MTV's 'Controversial Countdown' on 13th April at 1pm (USA). This is reported on the website of Prodigy's US record label Maverick. ( thanks to Sam T) 21/03/02: It's Maxim's birthday today, so happy birthday to him! also, on a bit a more negative note, that new unofficial Prodigy tribute album (see news 18th Feb) has been released now and i've had the 'pleasure' of listening to the tracks from it. I usually try to give a bit more intelligent criticism, but that tribute album is just a complete piece of shit. Dont buy it, unless you are into wannabe metal crossed over with wannabe trance produced by some kid in his bedroom using e-jay. I didnt even manage to listen to any of the tracks more than 2 minutes, it is just really bad. save your money, its a rip-off (and has got nothing to do with The Prodigy themselves - i hope so at least). 14/03/02:
Muzik have a bit about 'Big new albums 2002' in their current issue,
and Prodigy's is one of them. They write: funny
how they call it 'massive attack-style' vocals, eh, since it
DOES actullally have 3D from Massive Attack on vocals. for more about
the new album, visit the > AONO
section 13/03/02: added an old mpeg of rhythm of life performed in 95 into the media section. more soon. 03/03/02: Couple of updates. First of all, if you consider ordering the new unofficial Prodigy 2002 calendar, you will be in for a good laugh. Cause apart from 11 really old Prodigy photos (mostly Keith), there's the month April with a photo of, erm, ... John Lydon (Sex Pistols). the similarities, huh? (note that these unofficial calendars, just as unofficial merchandise, are done without permission by the band or their record label, hence they're usually very bad quality) But besides that, tickets are now available for the 2 USA shows Prodigy have confirmed for April '02. Please be aware that the Las Vegas show seems to be a 21+ only event. For details and info where to buy tickets you can check out the updated [prodigy-live] section. More updates also in the [prodigy-media] section. New additions are the scans of the new interview with Liam Howlett from Big day Out in Perth from the recent Q magazine, scans from an early interview with Liam Howlett in futuremusic in 1993 and last, but not least, there's the video of No Good performed live at Glastonbury '95. There will be more mpegs and soundfiles of Prodigy live stuff in the near future again, thanks to Tom Ward for web space. also updated the [aono section]. 27/02/02: The Prodigy confirm 2 US shows for April 2002: 27th
April 2002: The House of Blues, Las Vegas Coachella is a festival, the Las vegas one is an indoor venues! more info will be added to the [live-section]. wooohoo! Also, Q mag have a got a feature about Prodigy in Australia in this month's issue. In there (finally) revealed is the "name" of that 'downtempo fill' they've been playing between Breathe and Smack my Bitch Up for a while now, its apparently called 'Little Goblin'. 24/02/02: As you might have heard Prodigy gave their first TV interview as a band for years while in Australia on the Big Day Out tour. You can now check it out in video, audio and pictures on nekosite, everything's downloadable. Check it out [HERE]. 18/02/02: I've uploaded some little info about 'always outnumbered never outgunned', it basically contains all info currently commonly known about the fourth Prodigy album and some quotes from interviews in the Australian press about the new material. check it out [here] and
if you can not wait until Prodigy release their own album, you might
wanna check out the Prodigy Tribute album. Titled 'A Tribute
To The Prodigy', the album is going to be released on March 19th 2002
on Hypnotic Records. Advance orders can be placed on cdnow.com. Note
that this is NOT official Prodigy material. We've also got the tracklist
for you:
1. Breathe - DJ Matthew Grimm & Alan T. many
thanks to Damon Fadjo and Hypnotic Records 11/02/02: Prodigy tour is over and I'm back in the UK. I've written some review about the Prodigy's show in Tokyo, which was a little different from the Big Day Out shows in terms of setlist, venue etc. All reviews from this tour can now be found [HERE]. According to Ananova news The Prodigy will play at the Coachella festival taking place in Indio, California, USA on 27/28th April 2002. The line up apparently also includes Oasis, Chemical Brothers, Foo Fighters, Basement Jaxx etc. (what a cool line up that would be) Please note that this is just a rumor and has not been confirmed. Check the link out [here]. Or the same story is on Billboard.com [here] Also, check back here soon as i brought a couple of interesting interviews and stuff from Australia that I will upload here shortly. 05/02/02: Big Day Out is over and Prodigy have performed six great shows at this wandering festival in Australia & New Zealand. I've had the joy of attending them all, and you can read my reports and look at some pics of all 6 shows now. [HERE] Next Prodigy show will be in Tokyo tomorrow! 03/02/02: two days ago at the Adelaide show Liam surprised us all and just before Firestarter played 'Benny Blanco', an unreleased old track, featuring the 'remember me? benny blanco from da bronx' sample from Carlito's way. more about that later. Apart from that, I am still not getting over the fact that when i flew from Adelaide to Perth yesterday I was sitting just directly behind Mike Patton and his new band Tomahawk in the airplane. thats kind of scary, even after a week like that. and today unfortunately is already the very last Big Day Out show :( i am so gonna miss this. only two days more summer for me ... 31/01/02: after all these years of silence you can pick up literally any magazine here in Australia now and each smallest free mag seems to have its own exclusive interview with Liam Howlett. Some of them are actually quite interesting as he talks quite a lot about how he progresses with the new album, what the difficulties are in doing so and when they will finally come out with it ("not until once we got a fucking bomb to drop" - Liam in Inpress mag). Spoz has scanned in one of those interviews from JUICE mag, you can read it by checking out the scans [Page 1] [Page 2] thanks to Spoz for the scans 30/01/02: as promised, Sydney interview and pics, plus Melbourne review and many new live pics are online now (damn, I am quick these days) [here] 29/01/02: oh my god, yesterday The Prodigy in Melbourne at Big Day Out was just the best show EVER! forget the stuff i wrote in the other review, at this show really it rocked from minute one until they left the stage, i'd say for this hour alone it was worth coming over to Australia. The setlist was the same as at the other shows, but Liam (back to blonde again) also played a few unexpected beats and fills here and there. And performance wise the gig was absolutely the best ever...wow! anyway, i guess a review and some pics will folllow, so check back here soon. Back in Sydney The Prodigy also gave a short TV interview for Australian music channel Channel V, I believe this is the first TV interview they did as a band since the EMA's 98! The interviewer was apparently not allowed to ask questions about the new record, so the whole thing turned out rather silly and he asked the most stupid and outdated things you possibly could. I mean, the Reading Beasties incident and stuff like that. The band look pretty bored during the whole thing, can't blame them, but they're trying to make an effort and answer nicely, Liam even telling the nation about his new shoes ("I bought these today, they're very comfortable"). They talk a bit about the festival in general, how they respect all the bands on the bill, and that they think Gold Coast was the best gig they've done for a while. anyway, i got an mp3 of it somewhere, will try to upload it for you, check back tomorrow or so. 27/01/02: Yesterday I saw The Prodigy here in Sydney at the Olympic Park, most probably the biggest stadion I have ever seen them in. Already during Garbage's set (who were on about 3h before Prodigy) Shirley Manson was talking about Prodigy, how everyone wants to know what their new mat |
